A3 I might be misreading the room, but a mistake to think only new teacher's want innovation. There need to be open comm. from all #divergEd

A4 Parents expect school to be "old school" most of the time my parents are pleasantly surprised. #divergED

Some Ps don't even want a 'better' school They see their past as a good education & tech as a distraction/negative #divergED

Interesting-I'm a GenX parent too. Do you think most GenX parents have become tech savvy or left it to their kids? #divergED

(A4 Cont.) and didn't grow up with great social change, at least domestically. So it can seem as if we don't have much to offer... #divergED

And also get frustrated when newer ts do not assign HW due to new research and/or beliefs. #divergED

We need to communicate with parents starting in early grades, helping them understand why we do school the way we do. #divergED

Laura_Jennaro Jan 24 @ 8:30 PM EST

A4: challenges include parent frustration with tech, inability to help Ss with work because of new methods and adversity to change #divergED

JeremyDBond Jan 24 @ 8:34 PM EST

(Cont.) But the biggest issue with parents of any generation is assuming their school experience is irrelevant today. It matters. #divergED

A4 hate the view of "this is how you school" learning is far from linear and our schools shoudl reflect #divergED

A4:Getting parents to understand the reasoning behind mult. math strategies -- lots of "it wasn't done this way before" #divergED

@darlaashton would be so proud of me tonight! Just participated in the #divergED chat AND had some tweets liked by the moderator. WOOT!!!!!

Haha, I read that and Nirvana's smells like teen spirit popped in my head... (I'm in the same boat) #divergED

A4) As a GenXer PARENT, our gen is overlooked. We were on the cusp of computer technology but barely reaped the benefits... #divergED

we parents have much to learn. Funny how resistant we are. You'd think we'd feel irrelevant not to. #divergED

jillp0926 Jan 24 @ 8:41 PM EST

I would agree. I am likely biased, growing up with a parent who worked at IBM so exposed to tech at an early age. #divergED

In reply to @JeremyDBond

jillp0926 Jan 24 @ 8:42 PM EST

However, that wasn't most people's experiences of our generation, and tech can still be "scary" for most. #divergED

In reply to @JeremyDBond

JeremyDBond Jan 24 @ 8:42 PM EST

glad to hear it's different. I imagine it does depend on the school, teacher, leader. Some schools look the same to me. #divergED

Ask what didn't work for them. That's where conversation begins. #divergED

Kubikhan Jan 24 @ 8:29 PM EST

A4: Five words..."It worked for me, so..." Hate it when they haul that out in opposition to powerful #divergEd ideas.

jillp0926 Jan 24 @ 8:46 PM EST

Yes, I agree. I see more opportunities for collaborative learning than I had in school. Fewer lectures-more Ss input. #divergED

I'll admit-as a parent, this was tough to understand. As a SLP working with Sped students, I totally get it. #divergED
